Jumbo-Visma lose one of their GC cards - Wilco Kelderman - who was held back by a crash in final kms

As expected, the fourth stage of the Vuelta a España ended in a bunch sprint. Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard, Team Jumbo-Visma's leaders in the Spanish grand tour, crossed the line unscathed and in the same time as the day's winner, Kaden Groves.

The fourth stage saw a fast start. "Very soon, a lead group of three got away from the peloton," sports director Marc Reef said. "The peloton decided to control the race. The stage had some nervous moments because of the wind, but there were no echelons. The pace was relatively high for most of the day."

In the final, Wilco Kelderman crashed. He continued but finished more than three minutes down and lost his place at the top of the general classification. "This loss of time is a big disappointment," Reef said. "But luckily, he was able to continue. Primoz and Jonas finished safely and without losing any time. The team kept them out of the wind all day. The focus is now on tomorrow."
